Ex-Amish truck driver destroys historic bridge by driving her 30-ton trailer across it - because she got her math wrong and didn't know she was FIVE TIMES over the weight limit

Mary Lambright, 23, made the 1880 historic bridge collapse on Christmas Day in Paoli, Indiana

Iron bridge had a weight limit of six tons - her vehicle and trailer weighed about 60,000 pounds - or 30 tons - at crash

Lambright told police she didn't know how many pounds were in six tons

No injuries, but the bridge collapsed under the weight and was destroyed
That's a bad way to start your driving career!


She definitely did not get proper training. I wonder who certified her?
